Aside from the fact that I have a strong English heritage, the countless British shows I watch (Downton Abbey, The Crown, and my current favorite - Victoria!), I love tea.

I have tried green teas at coffee shops before, but honestly I am not a huge fan of the super earthy flavored brands. My all time favorite green tea is Bigelow.

Additionally, many other medical studies have shown that the more green tea consumed daily the greater the benefits, with 10 cups being the upper limit.
